Aristocare™ Smart – Clever surface cleaning

Aristocare™ Smart makes the cleaning of hydrophilic surfaces like ceramics, glass, and stainless steel a lot smarter. By providing a protective film, the surface becomes smoother and the sticking of soil and water droplets is prevented. Consequently soils can easily be removed during the next cleaning. Water drains more quickly from the smoothed surface resulting in spotless drying without limescale build-up. Furthermore, Aristocare™ Smart supports homogeneous cleaner distribution leading to the regular reflection of light. This guarantees a more brilliant and streak-free surface, which stays cleaner for longer.

 

Rheology modifiers

Rheology is a central factor in the relationship between consumers and cleaning products. As one of the main sensorial attributes of a product, it is an essential cue in the consumer’s perception of quality and performance.

 

Bio-based ethylene oxide products for Home Care

As our climate gives us increasing and alarming signals of change, individuals and industries are looking for ways to reduce their carbon footprints and the demand for sustainable and in particular low carbon chemicals growing strongly. One step is this transition is the portfolio integration and expansion of fully bio-based ethylene oxide derivates in the Home Care segment.

 

Mild surfactants

Mild surfactants deliver effective cleaning with a more favorable skin and environmental profile compared to conventional options. They are well suited for sensitive formats, concentrated products, and applications where skin contact is frequent.

 

Binders and auxiliaries

Binders and auxiliaries are key components in solid and compressed detergent products. Binders provide structural integrity by holding ingredients together in forms such as tablets, blocks, and bars. Auxiliaries support manufacturing efficiency and broaden formulation performance, from improving granulation to ensuring correct disintegration after use.
